New build

[FeatherGlide]

Hello,

 

I am at a stage where i am picking up parts for a new PC (upgrading old stuff from my old PC into something new). And i was thinking if someone could lend me their advice as to which parts are good and which parts are bad, which i could pick up better and if something is generally wrong in the way I am picking out parts

 

So i been doing some digging and this is kinda what i picked up as my parts: 

- CPU: intel i7-6850k

- RAM: HyperX Fury Black 16GB [2x8GB 2133MHz DDR4 CL14 DIMM]

- Motherboard: Asrock X99 Extreme4/3.1

 

Ok so, the general goal with this PC is to create a good PC for gaming, i know there are better parts like the i7-6700k which has better power but it is a 4core, but im also creating a PC in case i would like to edit some videos, do some 3d modeling etc, so i figured those 2 cores could be useful. So i wanted to ask you guys if there is something wrong with my thinking or there are better cheaper, more efficient parts out there that could do the work

 

As to the rest of the components in my PC for now i have old graphic card which i will upgrade later down the road when the money comes in, but for now i am adamant to upgrade my CPU. Just gonna write down the graphics card in case i missed something that could be seen as a bad choice that could make the components not work with eachother. 

Graphic card: Gigabyte GTX 760 4GB OC ( the card i would like in the fututre is a ASUS GeForce ® GTX 1080 STRIX OC 8GB, not a big fan of overcloaking i prefer to buy the best out the box i can get to not fry it :P)

 

I would be greatful for any advice you guys could give, also sorry for bad english in advance ^^'

 

Thanks!

do you really need a 6850k vs a 6800k? The main difference is PCIE lanes, 28 vs 40. Are you using a PCIE SSD + SLI GPUS? If you are just using 1 GPU and 1 PCIE SSD then the 6800k will be your better bet.

@ShimejiiOk so now comes my bad knowledge of PC components into play. I am using 1GPU and i have no SSD in my system for now, only a 1TB HDD. As to those two CPU's i thought that the frequency at which they work is something that matters a lot and that is why i considered a 6850k over a 6800k. If it is something that doesn't matter that much you may have saved up around 800 PLN for me. ^^

If your main goal is to find out whether your components are compatible use https://pcpartpicker.com/. And you could get a 1070 instead if you are concerned about budget.

@owenhar1 I am not concerned just, the fact that I am collecting money on other components in time, I prefer to buy a 1080 that will last a little bit longer than a 1070 even if it costs a little bit more money, I'm not gonna rush and buy worse parts if i can save up a bit and buy the better part later on the road ^^

 

Also thanks for the site will check it out !

Seems like a good idea, just wondering if budget played a huge part.

100 Mhz is not worth the price jump. And There is a difference between a SATA based (the regular type, cheap ssd) and the PCI-E based SSD. The PCI-E comes in a PCI-E card like the Intel 1.2 TB Internal SSD - PCI Express 3.0 x4 (NVMe), a M.2 Variant such as the Samsung 950 Pro or OCZ RD400. The Sata Based SSD are like your regular 850 Evo (Sata connector or M.2) or HyperX Savage. 

 

The difference in speed is there, Sata is limited to 600 MB transfer, while PCI-e 3 x4 can do 1-8 GB worth of transfer speeds. As an everyday user, the only time you will see the difference is boot time, and MMO loading between the Sata SSD and PCIE SSD, and its not worth the price of the PCIE if you have no intention of heavy editing. The Transfer speeds, write speeds, and read speeds are really nice for Video editing, and other programs that deal with large file typed items.

 

 

PCIE SSDS use 4 PCIE Lanes. GPUS use 16 in single format when they can (PCIE 16x) and you can go down to 8x when in SLI if necessary
